I find it hard to use since I got an offset scope. " -------------------------------------------------------------------- Many owners (and non-owners) of offset scopes do not realize that the design offers a means to rotate the scopes about their optical axes. There are little thumb-screws somewhere about mid-body that loosens the scopes to rotate. With this feature, offset scopes become far more flexible to use than straight scopes in situations such as car window mounts. Another example of this flexibility is the ability to peer over a blind with the scope pointing down, yet maintaining a comfortable viewing position. Try it in a car and you will be pleasantly surprised at the increased utility compared with a straight scope. --David Winer davidwiner@erols.com ========================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ========================================================================== =========================================================================
